>director of operations How do you do that straight out of college? >Yale Please HN, soothe my charred black soul and tell me there's some other reason he's

  Probably because the founders (Yalies just out of college as well) knew him and trusted him, so they tapped him to be part of the team, which is just around 10 people now (based on this: http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/10/1009_entrepreneurs_25_and_under/25.htm http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/10/1009_entrepreneurs_2...). When I visited the Twitter HQ back in the summer of '08, the joke was that an 8 years old girl was the Director of Operations (she was actually the DoO's young daughter) :) You may give too much importance to the job title, all in all YouRenew is still a small business -- and yet I salute the fact that he chose to join a startup (with a commendable goal at that) rather than rushing to Wall Street post graduation.
